Progress update: Planning is still going but I'm p sure I've got the crime figured out. Can't say for certain right now but it may end up being a 2-day case the way it's going right now.

As for case 6, I'll likely be releasing it alongside case 5 - cases 5 and 6 have a Cosmic Turnabout + Turnabout for Tomorrow kind of relationship so it would make most sense that they both get released at once. Or maybe I'll just release case 5 right away anyway who knows.

Also I updated the cover art. Long overdue I know. Character profiles were prettied up too if you noticed in the OP.

You need to draw everyone else though. Sente stands out like a sore thumb.

Or is that his actual sprite?

What exactly am I supposed to be drawing?

That's his actual sprite yes.

On another note I may release a small update to the game that changes/adds certain effects - for one thing the top screen fades to black slightly whenever a multiple choice/present prompt happens. I'll probably throw in some screen shakes or flashes in cases 1 and 2 too.I also finally made the Cross Examination cut-ins not shit.

Planning is at roughly 75% now. It's been going p slowly so far - it's a long case and exams were happening this month, so it's no surprise, really. But I'm fairly sure I've got the bulk of the planning done, just got to figure out how the trials are gonna go (this is a 2-day case, idk if I ever announced this outside of the main post).

Both investigations at least should be all planned out, unless new evidence has to be thrown in somehow which would make things a little awkward. So yea, still got a bit to go before the case can properly begin so it'll be a while before this case gets released. But some day I am sure this case will be complete.

Also I released a small update to the current version that fixes what I greatly hope to be the last minor bugs lying around cases 3 and 4. Also gave the CE cut-ins a little update to include the VS background.

So I was away for a few weeks but now I can say the first half of Investigation 1 is nearly done. I'm finally getting to the real shit. Three of the four suspects have been named, character reveals will happen once this last one gets her name. Pretty sure I've got the trials all figured out now, so consider the planning 100% complete.

Also I released one more update that changes case 4's logic system. Now logic is presented as evidence instead of multiple choices.

Posting an update to announce that the first half of the first investigation is done, which took a lot longer than I expected. But now the fun stuff has begun, so maybe the hype will speed up my progress.

By the way I named that last character so here are the new characters for case 5:

Spoiler: Character reveals

Anton Frost (Age: 50)The headmaster of Hexepta Legal Academy. He rose to power here in the school four years ago after former Headmistress Aimee Guzman had to step down.

Bartholomew Legrande (Age: 29)The bartender at the academy's bar. Hes not the friendliest and doesn't hold back in expressing his distaste for his customers.

Gerard White (Age: 51)The man in charge of the schools latest extension. He's always busy with one thing or another and doesn't spare much time to talk, especially not those ignorant of his feats.

Katherine Flare (Age: 18)A guard working part time at the guard station in the academy.

It has been one year since I first released this game on Court Records and the most appropriate way to celebrate is to throw Argus into a most asinine situation. Today I am releasing the second bonus case, Argus Hakan: Asinine Attorney. In this short case, Argus, clad in a most spooky costume, does battle against three unusual witnesses and an even more unusual prosecutor to find something that might be, but is hopefully not the truth.There's also a recording of the case on my channel if you don't want to download the entire game again just for this one case + very minor updates to previous ones.

As for case 5, progress on that had to stop for a couple of months. My laptop at the time was beginning to fall apart, and my keyboard was broken in a way that typing was possible but needlessly difficult. I've got a new one now, but that still slowed progress since by the time I got it, all the momentum I had after finishing the investigation was gone. This case helped get that back though, so hopefully I'll get the trial done soon.

Also: You can now disable DGS1 music as well as DGS2. The option to remove only DGS2-exclusive music is also there.

October 16 edit: also threw in a sneak update to put a skip button into that one long scene in Storm's asinine case.

First of all, surprisingly I haven't said this here yet outside the OP, but "Turnabout Murder" is now "The Sculpted Turnabout," and "Turnabout Hexepta" is now "Turnabout Cremation." Those names should remain final.

Progress is happening, and it's happening nice and swiftly. Both the first investigation and trial of case 5 are completely finished and tested thoroughly, and the second investigation is, hm, 20-30% done, roughly? I have the number of scenes for the section planned out, and so far I've got about 10 of them done, but a lot of those scenes are pretty light, whereas later ones (including one I'm juuuust about to get to) are probably going to be a fair bit meatier, either by dialogue length or gameplay.

The second trial's completely planned out. Probably not the most reassuring thing to hear that that's only done now, but I'll assure you that that was actually taken care of... a month ago. To be clear, I had all the basic details worked around, there was just one thing that didn't really fit, which was, the actual trial flow. Turns out that problem could be reversed with one simple change, and looking back, it makes no fuckin sense why I was originally going to do the trial the way I was going to before changing this. But I'll go into that after the case releases.

Anyway, this case is just past the halfway mark at this point, and it's looking to be about 4 hours in total. The case could honestly come out pretty soon at this point, if I stay as consistent as I am now. I'm also working on presentation as a big thing, not just for this case but previous ones, too. By the next update, some scenes in previous cases will have updated lines or even completely rewritten. As an example:

Spoiler: Case 2

Upton, in the investigation section of On the Road, is portrayed as a dick, basically. He just hurls insults at Argus and runs away. In the trial... he's now a shady con artist? This has been rewritten for consistency, Upton is now his scamming-salesman self in both chapters.

Anyway here's some hypeshots for case 5.

The end is near, my people. Case 5 has been released after 9 months of development. This case has had some slow development, but I've put as much effort into it as I could this past year and hope it lives up to expectations. Get ready to solve some crimes once again in a case that is larger than the previous two combined!Download link is in the OP, but you can also find it here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/0tyd2urhv ... angame.zip

As well as case 5, this new download also has changes made to previous cases. Here's a log of the notable stuff (ie, the stuff I actually remember to log):

Spoiler: Changelog

[*] Added case 5.[*] The "Argus" BG now displays on the bottom screen the entire time you're talking to someone (both in the Talk Menu and during their conversations.)[*] The Suspense music now loops.[*] Elements in the court record now aline with the blank squares.[*] Great Revival 2013 replaced with Great Revival 2002.[*] DGS1 music can now be disabled alongside DGS2 music.[*] Reworked the intro and lobby scenes in case 1.[*] Made Upton's investigation appearance more consistent with his later trial appearance in case 2.[*] Added a bunch of present dialogues to cases 2 and 3.[*] Changed a certain piece of evidence in case 3.[*] Minor tweaks have been made to The Plot regarding the academy & the Student Justice System.[*] Improved case 4's Logic some more, also fixed a few bugs surrounding it.[*] You can no longer save while examining evidence as well as a few other areas. This avoids the risk of a PyWright bug that causes broken saves.[*] General script improvements.

That's about it. Next update is the finale. Hope you people enjoy this one.
